  • Maintain the general ledger, including posting entries, allocations, review, and closing activities while supporting the Controller with analysis as required.
  • Reconcile monthly investment accounts and prepare journal entries for portfolio transactions.
  • Prepare periodic budget, investment, cash flow, expenditure reports, and other board and committee meeting deliverables as needed. 
  • Draft monthly financial statements.
  • Administer and support payroll and employee benefit functions.
